About this opportunity

The Mount Vernon City School District is conducting a Request for Proposals (RFP #25/26-05) to procure comprehensive Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK) services for four-year-old students residing within the district. The procurement seeks qualified community-based organizations, childcare providers, and early education centers to deliver a full-day (6.5-hour) pre-kindergarten program for up to 54 students. The proposed program must meet New York State educational regulations, including implementing a developmentally appropriate curriculum, assessing language and cognitive skills, providing early literacy and mathematics instruction, and supporting children with special needs. Proposers must demonstrate capabilities through documentation such as current licenses, liability insurance, financial statements, program narratives, staff qualifications, and prior experience in pre-kindergarten services. The RFP is scheduled with proposals due on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., and the district plans to conduct site visits to existing pre-k programs of qualified proposers. The initial contract term covers the 2025-2026 school year, with potential renewal options for two additional one-year terms, subject to annual Board of Education approval.

The RFP does not specify explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but emphasizes comprehensive qualifications for potential providers. The anticipated per-pupil allocation is approximately $14,000 per full-day seat for the academic year from September 1st to June 30th, representing a potential total program budget of roughly $756,000. Successful proposers must provide additional program elements including nutritional services, meals and snacks, and ensure meaningful adult-child interactions during mealtime. No incumbent vendors are specifically identified in the documentation. The procurement is open to community-based organizations and early education providers that can demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in delivering high-quality pre-kindergarten educational services. Proposers will be evaluated based on their ability to meet regulatory requirements, provide a robust educational program, and effectively support the developmental needs of four-year-old students in the Mount Vernon City School District.
